Análise de engenharia e proposição de um sistema automático de aquisição de dados para medição de volume de estoque de carvão do pátio de uma termelétrica

Abstract

This work conducts an requirements analysis of five proposition for implementation of an automatic data acquisition system for mineral coal volume measurement at a coal-fired thermal power plant stockyard. That engineering analysis is based on a brief review of the coal logistics for plants located at industrial park close to ports, current techniques applied to volume and density measurement in the plant, and the issue between mineral coal reflectivity rate and the sensibility of LiDAR sensors to materials reflectivity rate. Then, it is established criteria in order to distinguish the best proposition, based on viability, cost and practicality assessment. The complexity of the system is used just as a resolution criteria, affecting the time of project completion. Finally, it is shown that the most potential proposition is the one which uses industrial UAV as a platform for data acquisition.
